Mode of polishing varnish



UNITED STATES PATENT @FFICEQ WM. R. BENNETT AND CHAS. STORER, OF BOSTON,MASSACHUSETTS.

MODE OFPOLISHING VARNISH.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, WV. B. BENNETT and UHAREEs STOEEE, of Boston,Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inPolishing Japanned and Varnished Ware; and we do hereby declare that thefollowing is a full, clear, and exact description of our improved modeas practiced by us.

In order that others skilled in the art may practice this invention, wewill proceed to describe the operation of using it.

The were is first prepared for receiving the varnish in any of the usualmodes, our invention not relating to that. \Vhen prepared the varnish isput on in the usual manner and allowed to dry. Vhen well dried we usepumicestone for polishing and removing the little inequalities ivhichappear on the surface of the ware. After rubbing with pumice-stone theware is subjected to heat in any convenient manner sufficient to causethe varnish to flow, bywhichmeansit-isequallydistributed. When the wareis removed from the heat after the flow ot' the varnish, and is allowedto cool, it has a very high and beautiful polish-a better polish thancan be given in any other Way. The old or present mode of polishing isvery tedious and slow, the polish being given by mechanical means, suchas rubbing with pumice-stone and emery and other things without the useof. heat.

Having thus fully described our invention, what we claim as new, anddesire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The within-described mode of polishing japanned and varnished ware,whereby we are enabled to give a better polish with less labor than canbe given in any other known manner.
